"Yeah, this story’s everywhere, about the Phoenix couple who made a living stealing luggage off the airport carousel. Police found almost a thousand suitcases in their house. Not a single report has pointed out that the stolen luggage is almost all black. I described this strategy in a post more than a year ago, and in my book way before that. This is an M.O. This is something to notice and learn from. Thieves prefer to steal black luggage because so much of it looks alike. If the thief is caught red-handed by the bag’s owner, he only has to say sorry, it looks just like mine. And he’s out of there. Scot-free." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Which is why my roller luggage is black printed all over with skulls & crossbones. It's kids' luggage and unlikely to look like it contains anything "good". - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
